About this opportunity
The Town of Bristol, Rhode Island, is seeking sealed bids for Fall 2025 Tree Sourcing and Delivery through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #1073, targeting the procurement of 100 trees across two size categories: Small Trees (20' to 30' at maturity) and Medium to Large Trees (30' to 70' at maturity), with a specific requirement of 1.5 to 2.0 inch caliper specifications. The procurement involves two staggered deliveries to a mutually agreed location in Bristol, with bids due by 12:00 P.M. local time on October 1, 2025. Bidders must be registered and licensed arborists or nursery operators, with a preference for local or regional firms in southeast New England. The trees must meet stringent quality standards, including being healthy nursery stock free from insects, pests, and diseases, with well-pruned roots and aesthetically pleasing shapes. Evaluation criteria will focus on how well bidders meet the specifications and their proposed pricing, with award going to the lowest evaluated bid. Bidders are required to provide three references from similar projects completed within the last five years and complete several mandatory attachments.
The solicitation includes a mandatory 15% EPA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, requiring bidders to submit a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Utilization Plan. Vendors must maintain Workman's Compensation and Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the procurement involves substantial tree acquisition across two size categories. The bid emphasizes local and regional vendor participation, potentially limiting competition to firms in the southeast New England area. Bidders must complete several critical documents, including a Non-Collusion Affidavit and a Statement of Relevant Experience, which will be assessed as part of the overall bid evaluation. The procurement appears designed to support municipal landscaping and urban forestry initiatives, with a clear emphasis on quality, local economic support, and diverse business participation.
